Simplify for Success

With personal finances, simple is often better. This simple advice will help you achieve financial success.

1. Get organized. File your tax documents, bank account statements, retirement accounts, and insurance documents. You can set up folders or scan it and file it online.

2. Streamline accounts. If you have several accounts and are only using one actively, close the others. Examples may be multiple checking, 401(K) or savings accounts. Simplify your finances by being able to track your money more easily.

3. Budget forward. Look back at your last years spending and list your recurring monthly expenses. Is there anything you can cut out or decrease? Or, if you would like to save for a big purchase, you may need to start saving. Work that into your budget. Set up a monthly transfer to your savings account for your goals or emergencies.

4. Automatic savings. Get in the habit of saving every month, and make your savings automatic. You can do this by setting up a monthly transfer, or by changing your direct deposit to have a portion of your paycheck sent directly into savings.

5. Increase retirement contributions. Bump up your 401(K) contributions by one percent. The change is so small you probably won't notice the difference in your paycheck, especially if you make this change when you receive your annual raise.

Fee Change: Effective June 1, 2019 replacement card fee (over one per year) will be $5.00.
